All westbound traffic lanes of the Interstate 10 in Orange County near mile marker 858 will be closed Thursday evening, according to information from the Department of Public Safety.

Beginning at 6 p.m. traffic will be detoured to the access road to travel around the reconstruction site. Traffic will then be allowed to enter the interstate after passing the construction zone.

The reconstruction comes after the fatal April 17 crash that involved a dump truck and a fire. The driver of the second vehicle involved in the crash, 58-year-old Tony Alvarez, was transported from the scene to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
